Poland gets green light to buy Apache helicopters

WASHINGTON — The State Department has cleared a sale of 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters worth about $12 billion to Poland, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced Aug. 21.

The decision comes after the Polish Ministry of National Defence sent a letter of request to the U.S. government nearly a year ago to buy the Boeing-made helicopters for its armed forces.
